    Class of 2016-Mailbox Stalkers Club

    Greetings fellow stalkers. I have something on my mind to share about this stressful AFA candidate process. I have been reading this thread every single day for the last month and I must say that it was truly an honor to interact with ALOs, candidates and parents of candidates. Even if I get a...

    My USAFA counselor told me yesterday that my file is going to the panel this week. I should be receiving my TWE soon and then I will probably join the Marines :-)

    Slots for Medical Grad school

    Hello otterpop, I am also interested in a medical career with Air Force as an option. It seems that going to medical school after the Academy is extremely competitive but definitely not impossible if you set your mind to it. I have read stories of cadets who got accepted into Harvard Med school...

    Thank you woodypower5 and Christcorp. My application is complete and I am waiting for the news. I am grateful that there are other options out there to become a United States Air Force Officer. Goodluck to all candidates and cadets.

    Updating resume for final admissions evaluation?

    I believe his admissions counselor (mentioned on his application) is the one who has his file at the academy and can add any updates that you send him.

    Definitely not academically. The Academy would not have been an option if I was academically deficient. By having a miserable time, I was referring to my not being happy with being a plain college student when I hoped to be a cadet coming out of high school. Even academic accomplishments are not...

    Ah yes I have been asked this question many times before. Coming out of high school, I wanted to join the military (Air Force) but I didn't receive the support I needed from my family to go ahead with the process so I ended up going to college instead. There it became clear to me that I am not...

    The reason I was asking a question like that in the first place is because I was seeking some opinions on how the Academy would look upon me as a candidate. My background proved to be an obstacle for me in the past. With all the rising conflicts in the middle east, some people in the U.S...

    You make a valid point Christcorp. Since I wasn't planning on talking about age and college, I didn't want to mention it. I was born on July 31st and I did go to college for 2 years. My respect and love for the Air Force Academy is leading me to pursue admission. I don't mind having the extra...

    Surprisingly Christcorp, I am currently a candidate despite my questions. I don't know why my age is a big deal here since my ALO and others at the Academy say its fine at the moment. I am hoping to get into the Academy prep school to live up to academy standards.

    Hello, I am a recent applicant to the United States Air Force Academy. Like many others, its a dream to become an officer and serve the country. However, I am in a strange position. For one thing I am from an Egyptian background (Coptic Orthodox Christian) and was neutralized in 2007. I came...
